If they had more than 2 people working at a time

I don’t live in America but judging from what I heard, what is up with American stores manning the shops at bare minimum? Like, I heard so many complaints of self-service checkouts having no one staff looking after them, which leads to customers going to manned tills instead, because they couldn’t deal with technical issues especially for the seniors. Then when a senior is asked if they want to use automated checkouts instead, they reply with the snarky response “I don’t work here.” You can’t blame people for being reluctant to use the self-service checkouts, if there are no help! Where I live, there is always a staff looking after the self-service checkouts because of the inevitable technical issues or customers not knowing how to use them.

My guess for this poor implementation of technology is because bosses think machines are meant to replace humans as workers, when realistically machines should help people with work. We don’t live in yet in a world where there are robots with the artifical intelligence as good as the human intelligence. And we are still way far from having robots with good dexterity skills as humans to completely replace us.

Just as I finally see Chinese culture gaining more global cultural relevance— and it had to be in order to bypass a ban of an intrusive app.

A car company complimenting Hitler’s painting is nothing compared to making business deals with Hitler. Ford and GM still have subsidiaries that operated and built for Nazi Germany despite the US declaration of war in World War 2.

Things haven’t really changed. Corporations will typically side with fascists when it comes to it.

Not specifically about Norway, but richer countries are already providing funds to poorer countries to combat climate change, but it goes to vanity projects and other corruption.

The climate fund is unfortunately a money laundering scheme. Nicaragua is right to be apprehensive of the 2015 Paris climate change accords, believing it doesn’t go far enough. There is no actual legal mechanism to hold countries accountable for missing climate targets. Now that I think about it, Trump pulling out of the 2015 Paris climate deal during his first term is not necessarily a loss, since everyone is doing nothing since the accords were signed. In spite of the small climate wins, every current year is always the hottest year until the subsequent year records the hottest global temperature, always beating the previous year’s record.

That means Norway will sell the fossil fuel they don’t use to somewhere else.

If the next game is as impeccable as BG3, then this media blackout to create hype is the cleverest marketing move I have ever seen.

I haven’t heard of PixelFed, but thanks for informing me and I shall go!

but it has become this… thing.

It’s very appropriate to call Instagram now… a thing. The site just became something to post bragadacious, fake rich lifestyle photos, people wanting to become meme themselves, or scantily clad girls looking for attention for themselves if not for their OnlyFans.

Go on Europe!

My former college has gender neutral bathroom in the gym. I have never heard any issues in the many decades that it has been there. Besides, the wall of the toilet stalls are really high and there are no gaps underneath the stalls to dissuade peeping. Just do how my college did with gender neutral bathrooms.

Dammit so we can’t stop Skynet!

You’re neither the sperm nor the egg. You’re the combination of both the sperm and the egg. 50/50 of what you are came from your mother and your father.

Not trying to glorify wars, but what I’m saying is that some wars have a purpose or cause at least. Like the Napoleonic wars is about new type of government under new found liberal values versus the old system of absolute monarchy that values stability and familiarity. The current war in Ukraine is about stopping imperialism and the wanton violation of international rule (there isn’t technically any rule because international laws are non-binding but that is a different topic I won’t delve for now).

As an aside, I like how the intention of the original poster aged like milk. No one sees “The Great War” as great by those who survived it and by the future. It is not talked about positively in the same way as Napoleonic wars or the Second World War (except if you were an Axis soldier or civilian victim of war crimes of course).

Here we go again with the “laZe-eR EvE’UhL” and “trollolol problem” but Canada-style.

Shouldn’t this make you and others demand reform from Liberal Party? Or support New Democratic Party which is far more progressive? And before you mention about the two party system, it’s quite weak in Canada compared to the American system. After all, the Canadian Tories went extinct despite having been a force to reckon with.

The reason the world is regressing is because of champagne socialists and limousine liberals forcing salt of the earth people to choose for the “lazer eve’uhl” who will do nothing substantial but for their corporate overlords.

I’ve done cursory research on this person, and my understanding is that she claims she will still be teaching science but only wearing sexy tops on. I don’t know how truthful that is but even some Olympic athletes said they are in Only fans but “only being sexy without showing”, in order to supplement their income. I don’t really fault people for this considering the worsening cost of living crisis.

I don’t think the stigmatisation of men showing emotions is exclusively Anglophone culture. I live in Ireland and there isn’t really a stigma of men showing emotions because of public awareness campaign about mental health for both men and women. But like you said, I’ve met couple of overly manly men jerks and uncaring women, but they’re the ones not worth your time and in tiny minority.

In any case, some cultures have antiquated machismo mindset which is sporadic across the world.

Blaming colonialism is used by many corrupt, incompetent post-colonial governments to distract people from their own corrupt incompetence. It’s like with Putin blaming NATO and the West for everything.

This is going to be like Russia, the smart and sane ones leave only for the dumb people remaining to prop up an authoritarian regime.

Idk why people think leaving the EU is going to solve our problems, it’s going to literally fuck us in the ass.

These far right populist parties would probably leave the EU, if majority of Europeans want to leave. But the majority of Europeans want to remain. What the far-right European parties do instead is adopt the narrative of “fortress Europe”, that immigration should be restrictive and Europe remain “largely European”.
